Edinburgh Law School's Free Legal Advice Centre has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Scottish Legal Awards 2020. Now in its 17th year, the Scottish Legal Awards "recognise Scotland's leading firms, teams and individuals who operate at the forefront of our national legal system". FLAC was named one of the finalists in the Community Contribution category.
This is the first year FLAC has been recognised by the Scottish Legal Awards, following three consecutive years of appearing on the shortlist for the Herald Law Awards of Scotland. Established in 2007, FLAC is a student-led project that offers Diploma students the opportunity to gain advisory experience while providing pro bono legal advice to the public.
On making the shortlist, Director of Pro Bono at the Law School, Rebecca Samaras, said she was "pleased the judging panel have recognised everything we are providing to the community".
